I am sorry to all of my friends and family who are sick of hearing me talk about Tracy Anderson. But, I can't STOP talking about it because I truly cannot believe the results I have had in such a short amount of time. Up until right after having my son I would say that I worked out "hard" for the past 8 years. I started slacking after our son was born because not only was I tired, but I just didn't have the time to schlep him to the gym, and try to squeeze in an hour workout in between naps. Enter my friend Gina...looking amazing and svelte after a few short months of doing The Tracy Anderson Method. I was completely sold...

Tracy's killer body...pretty ridiculous, right?!

A little background on Tracy. She was a dancer and had a large weight gain during college. She spent 10 years researching a method in which she could tone and lose weight without bulking up. She has a huge celebrity clientele base...Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow, Shakira, Courtney Cox and Jennifer Aniston. She is literally transforming women's bodies through her method.

I started doing the mat workout video Jan 1. and since then the results have been pretty unbelievable. I measured myself at the beginning because I wanted to see what was actually happening to my body. 5 weeks later I have lost 4" off my thighs, 1" from my butt and hips and 1" from my waist. My lower half is definitely my "problem area", so to see what has happened in these few short weeks is just amazing! I actually was able to pull on my skinniest jeans from when I was in my best pre-baby shape. AND, I had to pull out some old pants from the bag of "give away" clothes because I thought I could never wear them again!

I also have her dance cardio DVD which I will incorporate soon. It's pretty intense. As my friend Jill says, it's like doing jumping jacks for 40 minutes. BUT, I am ready for the cardio and something to break up the monotony of doing the mat video 6 days a week. She also just released 3 new DVD's that I am anxious to get my hands on.

I have been reading about her and have wanted to try her workout. But her recommendation for eating is a little too intense for me. I like my dessert and dairy. =) Do you follow her eating advice or just do the workout??

I just do the workout...have not read her eating advice. I love sweets too! I have cut back on carb and sugat intake and I don't eat as much dairy as I used too. I had a really hard time cutting out cheese, it's one of my favorite things!
